Boulder, Colorado-- Hydrosphere Data Products Inc. today announced that it will award $20,000 in data grants during 1996 to support environmental research worldwide. Researchers may immediately contact the company for grant applications. Applications for 1996 grant awards should be submitted to Hydrosphere before October 31, 1996. Applications will be evaluated on a first-in-first-out basis.
Grant recipients will receive free use of titles from Hydrosphere's commercial library of ready-to-use environmental databases on CD-ROM. Its Hydrodata(R) and ClimatedataTM CD-ROMs feature USGS hydrologic, NOAA climatologic, EPA water quality, and other environmental databases. A complete listing of topics is available from the company.
The criteria for grant awards will be the potential of proposed or ongoing research to yield theoretical advances or technological innovations that encourage the establishment of sustainable development public policies or professional practices. Applicants must also demonstrate the inability to obtain necessary data with existing research resources.
The company's discs and its custom environmental database software will allow researchers to more rapidly locate, examine, and export data relevant to their work. The $20,000 grant allowance is approximately equivalent to the use of 80 separate titles for one year.
Sample research areas previously supported by Hydrosphere include the fate and transport of contaminants, endangered species protection, watershed ecosystems, hydrologic decision support systems, distributed hydrologic models, riparian habitat rehabilitation, and wetlands restoration. This data grant program expands and formalizes the company's commitment to support environmental research worldwide.
